The Southern Ohio Chapter serves both central and southern Ohio in the Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati areas. We provide educational and support programs to people living with IBD and those who care for them. We connect you to local resources and offer you opportunities to become involved with the IBD community through events, volunteering, our summer camps, and more.
